Beginning Developers: Free Course from MIT

arrogance writes "Yes, this has been posted on /., and on Wired (five days after the /. story). But there are occasional postings on slashdot about Where to Start Learning to Program. There's a software engineering course at the MIT site that looks like it covers many of the basics of software development, from OO to testing to documentation. It also deals with a team based project end-to-end, which is a great way to learn, but it might be tough finding two or three like minded people to take the course with. Has anyone tried these courses? Are they any good? Have any slashdotters (is that a word?) taken the course "live"?"

I attended the free course from MIT, and to my displeasure, they were not handing out free sandwiches. The MIT staff ignored my complaint, it's not like I wasn't yelling loud enough! I don't recommend this course to anyone.
